Heavy rain and flooding are affecting student transportation. Our team is working on rerouting where possible. Expect delays for bus riders in flood-prone areas. Safety is Wood County Schools' first priority.

Field day reminders:
Students will be outside so they should either have sunscreen on or bring their own that they can apply.
If you have filled out the form to volunteer, please come around to the back of the building. We will have a sign in table there for you.
For those who are volunteering in the afternoon only, you can check in at the office.
Only adults with approved background checks will be able to volunteer.

Good afternoon, this is Mr Hardman Principal at Emerson Elementary School. The track meet for the boys this evening has been postponed.

The Book Fair is just 1 week away. This is a great time to set up your child's ewallet. Not familiar with an ewallet, this is a way for your child to spend money at the book fair without sending cash to school with them. This video will go through the steps to create an ewallet for your student. Mrs. White will print off the list of students who have an ewallet at the start of each morning.
This fair is a BOGO fair so absolutely everything is Buy one get one.
